Databases

Data is an important ingredient in our efforts to provide a well-rounded local report on what's going on in New York. Some of this information comes straight from the source, and other information is compiled by our staff. When possible, we present the databases with the context of news or enterprise from lohud.com. Sometimes, however, utility databases such as restaurant inspections and real estate sales throughout New York are there as a resource and updated on a regular basis.
